Let's not fool ourselves people. Circus Circus is a joke. If MGM is serious about developing that portion of town, they should erect resorts/buildings that reflect the emerging environment, i.e Sky, Trump, ect... There is no aesthetic/cultural value whatsoever to the Circus Circus in it's present condition. Just the whole concept of "Circus Circus" is atrocious. If they are going to keep Circus Circus, they really need to plan something visually appealing and less garish. Hmmm.....maybe "Cirque Cirque"?

Circus also seems to have cleaned itself up a bit compared to when I was there last in June 2005. It actually looked ok and on the clean side  when i visited there in February this year.
If MGM are serious about building on that vacant site then that is further fantastic news for the north strip. Personally I hope Sky is the last of the independent condos built directly on the Strip. There is plenty of place for independent condos on paradise, industrial, sahara etc. The strip should be left for the hotels/casinos. Condos on the strip should be part of hotel projects like city center or echelon etc. just my two cents  |
